The 2016-17 NFL season is less than a week away when the Panthers will be taking on the Broncos on Thursday September 8, 2016 and all football betting fans are eagerly waiting to place their bets. In the meanwhile most people are currently betting on the NCAA football bowl subdivision and the MLB.

If this is not your cup of tea, we thought that placing some early future bets on the NFL would keep you busy until the first game of the season so we present to you our pick of top NFL teams that have the best odds for making it to the playoffs.

Sure they are some teams that we expect to see in the playoffs no matter what like the New England Patriots but our football handicapping experts have added some teams to that list that may surprise you!

The first week of the NFL Preseason is almost over and the teams are already getting several injury reports. As usual, sports handicapping experts are closely watching the injured list to help them set the odds for the NFL season as well as help them predict the outcome of the games.

So let’s take a look at some of the more recent and significant NFL Preseason injuries(for a complete roster of all NFL players on the injured list, click here).

Let’s start with quarterback Carson Wentz of the Philadelphia Eagles who sustained a hairline fracture in his ribs during last Thursday’s NFL Preseason opener against Tampa Bay.

When things just couldn’t get any worst for out of work, former Brown Quarterback Johnny Manziel, he get indicted with assaulting his former girlfriend, Colleen Crowley.

Straight out of a TV soap opra, Manziel was formally indicted today by a Dallas County grand jury for a single misdemeanor domestic violence charge. The charge came from when an incident that took place with his former girlfriend back in January and can carry a maximum one year in jail and a $4,000 fine.

According to Jim Darnell, Manziel’s lead attorney, Manziel will probably plead not guilty and believes that he will be acquitted of all charges. According to the District Attorney’s Office, Crowley said that Manziel threatened to kill her and himself after repeatedly striking her after they had left a bar in Dallas on January 30th, 2016.

The NFL Preseason starts tomorrow with the Hall of Fame game where the Green Bay Packers will go head to head against the Indianapolis Colts. In addition, the regular season is just one month away and all of the NFL teams are scrambling to get their team roster filled with the best players they afford get.

The New Orleans Saints have been on the lookout for a strong and experienced fullback and have been romancing John Kuhn, a nine year veteran who spent most of his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers.

For the NFL football betting fan whom is also a fan of the Packers, this may come as a shock that Kuhn has just signed a one year contract with the Saints as he the 33 year old has always been a fan favorite.

Tom Brady is a name that is synonymous with the New England Patriots and today it will remain that way for another 2 years. Brady with six Super Bowl appearance and four rings since he started playing with them back in 2000 is one of the Patriots' greatest asset and most football handicapping exerts agree that this must be a relief for the Patriots.

Brady and the Patriots have agreed to a two year extension that will keep him with the Patriots through the 2019 season. Despite Brady turning 39 in August, the Patriots seem to have a lot of faith in him and Brady himself believes that he still has what it takes to bring the Patriots to another Super Bowl.

Brady is currently making $9 million for 2016 and will receive $10 million next year with a cap of $15 million and $16 million respectively. This new 2 year extension should lower that cap while at the same time increase the cash flow.

We are just a few weeks away from the 2016 NFL Preseason and some bookies are already touting some early lines on the which team will have the advantage. Of course, we are talking about the NFL preseason and no one knows for sure how things will go as the NFL Preseason is usually a time for teams to work on their roster, test out the rookies and hopefully, stay away from injuries.

This year, the football handicappers have been closely monitoring the training camps each voicing out their opinion. ESPN, the Times-Union and most sports news publications out there have published their NFL Preseason Power Ranking and none of them are alike.

Well, here at SportsbookSOS, the best sportbook reviews website, we pride ourselves in using our own Power Ranking based on the opinion of several experts in the NFL handicapping field so here is our list of the top 7 teams for the NFL Preseason Power Rankings.

As we count down the hours until Super Bowl 50 kicks off, there are two big stories emerging. The first is the details coming out about Peyton Manning’s alleged PED use, and the second – and most important for Super Bowl bettors – is what side the smart money has come in on for the big game.

Early betting came in heavy on the Carolina Panthers, with some online sportsbooks taking in as much as 90% of their action on the favorites. But the sharp action has since come in big on the underdog Broncos in the hours leading up to the big game, and online sportsbooks such as BetOnline.ag have dropped the Panthers to a 4.5-point favorite.
